The End Of Mayor Richard Cory: by Linny Marie Shirleyann Henry
Scene 1: Mayor Richard Cory is surrounded by frightened members of his town, Milford. About 20 people are there, with frightened expressions on their faces.They are inside of Foran High School, where he instructed everyone to meet.
Everyone is shouting frantically at Mayor Cory, trying to get his attention. Mayor Cory: Citizens of Milford! Please try to speak one at a time! I'm going to attempt to explain what I know about our situation, but I really need everyone to cooperate! A group of teenagers push themselves to the front of the crowd. Danny: Mayor Cory, Mayor Cory! They have us surrounded! What are we going to do? Linda: Yeah, Mayor Cory! Please help us! Billy: What are those things? Ann: They've taken over the entire town! Mayor Cory: Look, I know this is hard to hear, and at any other time none of you would have believed me, but those things- those creatures out there- they're zombies. There was a chemical spill by the dump last week and-- Old Man Travers: Jesus, Mayor! Why are you hiding things like that from us? What in darn tarnations is wrong with you? Old Man Travers begins threateningly swinging his cane at the Mayor. Old Lady Hoover: Who put this crackpot in office anyway? I sure as heck didn't vote for him! Personal Trainer Brendan: Give the guy a chance to talk! Everyone liked him last month when he gave half his paycheck to the hospital! Why can't you like him now? Now shut up and give him a break! Everyone gets quiet. Mayor Cory: I, uh, well, thank you for that, Brendan. Now, as I was saying, there was a chemical spill by the dump last week. We've been investigating, and the chemical inside the trucks was an unknown nuclear substance. We aren't quite sure why, but all of the spilled substance evporated quickly, actually, in less than 10 minutes, resulting in those dark green clouds. Officer Henry: That's right, Mr. Mayor. And when it rained yesterday, the contaminated rain soaked the ground at the cemetaries. Not even 5 minutes after it stopped raining, the zombies began to rise from the ground. Plumber Joe: And how do you know that? Mayor Cory: Officer Henry knows that because he was in St. Mary's Cemetary when they first started rising. Truck Driver Moe: What do the zombies do? Mr. Tobias: Yeah, I still don't get it.What's so bad about the zombies? Waitress Meg: WHAT'S SO BAD ABOUT THE ZOMBIES? HAVE YOU BEEN OUTSIDE? Mr. Tobias: Actually, no. I'm a teacher here and I live in the school's basement at night. I don't get out much. The room grows silent, and everyone looks uncomfortably away from Mr. Tobias. Mayor Cory: Okay, um, for those of you who haven't seen or don't know much about these zombies, they aren't friendly, and they apparently have a very strong appetite for humans. I'm not quite sure what to do right now; do any of you have ideas? Wrestler Josh: Why don't we fight the zombies? I bet I could off about 100 of them in a few minutes! Skateboarder Max: Dude, what's the point in that? You can't kill a zombie! You can run and hide from 'em, but there's no way to kill zombies! Gardener Nancy: Mayor Cory? Mayor Cory: Yes, Nancy? Gardener Nancy: Wouldn't it be smart to make sure that the zombies can't get in here? I mean, shouldn't we block the entrances or something? I don't want my kids to be eaten! She gestures to her three children, who are huddled together crying at her side. Mayor Cory: Neither do I, Nancy! That's an excellent idea! Everyone, split up into groups of four! We need to make sure every entrance is blocked! It might be too late!
Scene 2:
2 hours later.
Everyone is running down the halls of the school in small groups, making sure that all of the doors and windows that could allow possible entry into the school are locked or blocked off. Group 1: Danny, Linda, Billy, Ann Group 2:
Old Man Travers, Old Lady Hoover, Personal Trainer Brendan, Mr. Tobias Group 3:
Waitress Meg, Wrestler Josh, Skateboarder Max Group 4:
Gardener Nancy, Gardener Nancy's Three Kids Group 5:
Truck Driver Moe, Plumber Joe, Officer Henry Mayor Cory goes off on his own.
Group 1 enters an empty classroom, and Danny grabs a meter stick. Linda: What are you doing with that? Danny: It's just a precaution. You know, in case any zombies try to get in. Ann: This is crazy! If you told me a few days ago that Milford would be attacked by zombies, I would have thought you were insane! I can't believe this! Billy: Yeah, me either! I feel really bad for Mayor Cory, though. He's trying really hard to stay strong, but you can tell he's flippin' out. Mayor Cory, who' s walking past the room, hears Billy and walks in the room. Mayor Cory: Are you guys okay? Linda: Yes, Mayor Cory. This is the last classroom on this floor that has to be checked. Mayor Cory: Good, good. I want you kids to stay here. I'm going to try to find the others. Danny: Okay, Mr. Mayor. Ann: Be careful, Mayor Cory. Mayor Cory: Don't worry, I will be.
Group 2 is walking in the cafeteria's kitchen. Old Man Travers: I'll bet this is just another dirty trick by the government to try and raise our taxes! Old Lady Hoover: Yep! There are so darn many young punks in office, and they're all out to get us seniors. Mr. Tobias: I don't think it's the government at all. I believe Mayor Cory was telling the truth! Old Lady Hoover: Who the heck asked your opinion? Old Man Travers: Yeah, you're nothin' but a creepy teacher who lives in a high school. You've got no right to talk to us. Old Man Travers begins to brandish his cane again, this time at Mr. Tobias. Physical Trainer Brendan: Will you old coots can it? I've been doing everything on my own, and all you've been capable of is bickering, complaining, and making fun of Mr. Tobias! JUST SHUT YOUR YAPPERS! Mayor Cory walks into the cafeteria. Mayor Cory: I'm glad you're all getting along! Can you all go downstairs to the second floor? There's a classroom at the end of the left hallway and the teenagers are in there. Personal Trainer Brendan: Sure thing Mayor Cory. C'mon, lets go.
Group 3 is walking in a locker room. Waitress Meg: I think we've gotten all the doors shut around here. Skateboarder Max: Yeah, and there aren't any windows here. Wrestler Josh: Okay, well this was boring. Let's go back upstairs and find everyone else.
They leave the locker room and walk straight into Gardener Nancy and her kids, who are all crying and running. Skateboarder Max: Yo, Nancy and co., what's wrong? Gardener Nancy's Kids: We saw the zombies! They almost got in! Gardener Nancy: I- I had to fight them. None of them got in, but my-my arm. . . She looks at her right arm, or where her right arm used to be. There is nothing there from her shoulder down. She begins to cry harder. Waitress Meg: Oh my gosh! We have to get you back up to everyone else, maybe they can help! Wrestler Josh: I saw the teens in a classroom upstairs. Lets try looking there.
Group 5 is at the school's main office, where all of the windows are shut and locked. Officer Henry: I'm glad my family doesn't live around here. Truck Driver Moe: Yeah, me too. Hey, Joe, what's wrong? Plumber Joe's sitting on the floor, crying, and rocking back and forth. Plumber Joe: They ate my whole family. I was fixing a pipe in the house, and my wife and kids were out in the yard. I heard the screams, and ran out, but I was too late. I just ran here. I should've stayed. I shouldn't have come here. Officer Henry: Joe, I'm so sorry. Truck Driver Moe: That's a real bummer. Plumber Joe: That's a real bummer. That's what you say to me? I tell you my family's been eaten by zombies, and all you can say is 'that's a real bummer'? What's wrong with you, man? Mayor Cory enters the office. Mayor Cory: Is everything okay? Plumber Joe: No, Mayor Cory. I need some air. Officer Henry: No, Joe! Don't do it! Plumber Joe doesn't listen, and runs over and opens a window. The window isn't even open all the way when Plumber Joe is dragged through it, and zombies begin to pour into the building.
Scene 3:
Officer Henry takes out one his guns and begins to shoot the zombies, while Truck Driver Moe and Mayor Cory desparately try to fight more zombies off. Mayor Cory: Officer Henry! Give me a gun! I want you and Moe to- HOLY CHEESE FRIES! MOE! The zombies are ripping Truck Driver Moe out the window. He disappears from sight. Officer Henry throws a gun to Mayor Cory. Officer Henry: My gun's out! That one's loaded. What do you want me to do? Mayor Cory: Go upstairs! Everyone's in a classroom up there. I need you to be strong for me and protect them. I'm right behind you, okay? Officer Henry: Okay! I'm going! You're one heck of a mayor! Mayor Cory: Thanks! NOW GO! Officer Henry runs up to the classroom, and Mayor Cory blocks off the office door with desks while still shooting at the zombies. He then runs after Officer Henry, and they quickly shut the classroom door behind them. Linda: Officer Henry! Mayor Cory! You're covered in blood! Wrestler Josh: Where are those other two guys? Skateboarder Max: Dudes, what's goin' on?
BOOM!ZAP!BANG!
Suddenly, the lights go out, and the room grows silent. Then, thundering footsteps shake the building and grow closer to the classroom, along with hideous growls and roars.
Mayor Cory: Citizens, friends, this is the end. I'm sorry. Bless you all.
Mayor Richard Cory puts the gun against his head and pulls the trigger. Moments later, hundreds of zombies burst into the room, and within 5 minutes, Milford, Connecticut is the land of the undead.
